What's this? Has Sega become the number 1 game company in America?

By IGN Staff

The U.S. software sales charts for September 12 to 18 (the week following the Dreamcast's launch) have been released by the NPD. The Dreamcast has, once again, faired well in the overall top thirty charts, with a total of seven titles making an appearance (as opposed to 9 from the previous week). Here are some notable entries from the list.

In terms of Dreamcast software alone, the NPD figures seem to suggest that not too much has changed, although Tokyo Xtreme Racer managed to make it into the top ten, and NFL2K managed to move up two notches.

Also worth noting is that Sega is currently the number 1 video game publisher in America, as it was last week. Prior to that, Sega didn't even place on the list (this is to be expected, as the big blue had no product before 9/9/99). Following Sega on the list is Nintendo, Sony, Electronic Arts, Square EA, and Midway.

Check back next week as we continue to keep track of Dreamcast software trends.
